Senior girls are my jam. I love coming up with unique ideas to make their senior photo session one of a kind. I don’t know about you but standing out is fun for me! My girls always get hair and makeup done by my staff stylist Hailey - she really knows what she’s doing, and I love how natural Makayla looked for her photos. She doesn’t normally wear makeup, so we wanted to make sure she felt comfortable and liked her photos too. I love how Hailey kept her skin fair and she just shinned through!
Read MoreThe studio has the most beautiful natural light, I’m really obsessed with it. I’ve been specializing in newborn photos for more than 5 years and I’ve always done a lifestyle style of family photos, and I’m so excited to announce that I am now able to offer a Lifestyle Newborn Session all of the time.
These sessions take less time, because baby is wrapped for most of the session. Baby is also able to be in a natural environment and we capture natural posing as well. She might have always stuck her left hand up in the womb, she’ll probably do that during the session too and I’ll get to capture that. How special will it be to look back on that as she gets older, maybe show it in the slideshow at her rehearsal dinner.
We will still get detail images of lips, lashes, toes and fingers along with gorgeous images of your family with the new addition.
I do my best to make sure the entire experience is as easy as possible for my parents. We have a toy area for older siblings with books, coloring activities and toys for all ages. We even have a stocked fridge with drinks, snacks and treats. Mom can even add on hair and makeup styling by our licensed stylist. Let us handle the fuss, you just show up and relax while we capture your memories.
You’ll be in studio about an hour and then we will meet in person 3-5 days later for an image reveal appointment; we can also do this over zoom. If you’d prefer an online gallery so that you can view in your own time, an additional fee is required. I can also promise you that you’ll LOVE more than 8 images, so just prepare yourself. :)
Check out Georgia’s sweet gallery below. Her parents have been trying for many years to have a baby, had given up and then Georgia appeared. She really is a blessing, and is such a sweet baby. I’m so glad Marti allowed me to capture these sweet images for her.
Shreveport Maternity Photographer - Fine Art Maternity Photographer, Brooke’s Maternity Session
Brooke drove almost an hour to her session with me and she was absolutely AMAZING! Brooke’s entire gallery deserves to hang in her home. I hope she sees these photos and sees who she truly is. As a mom of 5, I know how hard pregnancy can be on your mental health. Especially when you in it, thank goodness you forget a lot of the bad stuff after the baby is here.
So many of my clients tell me that they didn’t do maternity photos with their first pregnancy, and they regret it. But, don’t let that hold you back. Do it, every time, even if you missed the first pregnancy.
I love studio sessions because we don’t have to fight with the weather, we aren’t hot or cold. It isn’t windy, unless I point the fan at you. :)
I provide EVERYTHING you need for your session. Licensed hair and makeup artist are on staff to pamper you! I even provide what you wear. Sometimes clients bring an item or two that they want to wear, and that is fine too. I just want you to love your experience with me, and of course I want you to love your photos too.

Ela is such a sweet blessing. Her parents, Lauren and Eli, are SMITTEN with her. Eli has the biggest smile when he looks at her, and when he looks at Lauren too.
I get so many parents who are having their second baby who regret not getting newborn images for their first baby, and they are determined to have the works the second time. We do maternity photos and newborn and sometimes even an extra family session, or in home fresh 48 session too! Don’t regret missing out on documenting these milestones. You can’t go back and do them, so make sure to get them done right the first time.
Don’t you just LOVE her hair?! I seem to have had a ton of sweet newborns in for newborn sessions lately with hair, and I am here for it!
All of my babies arrive pre-dressed in a white cotton onesie. Every single baby is documented in this timeless way, and parents always choose at least one of these images, but most of the time three of four. There is something about the focus being directly on baby that every one loves, especially me! Doesn’t Ela look so perfect, just like this?
I love documenting details! Ela’s profile, her sweet little hand and her toes! So precious, and things that deserve to be captured during every newborn session in my studio.
Parent images are so special too! I don’t think I’ve had any parents skip this part in a LONNNNNNG time. My newborn sessions come with COMPLIMENTARY professional hair and makeup services, so why skip it? Hailey did Lauren’s hair and makeup for her session and she looks so dang pretty, don’t you think? She has a snow white vibe! :)

Daniel, aka Dani, might be the REAL Superman. He was born early, and on his due date had surgery on his little heart. Before his smash we did some photos to celebrate his journey too. Mama called it his ‘heartiversary'. Yoana has been coming to me since her oldest was brand new.
I hand made Daniel’s city backdrop and built his balloon swag too. :) I am so stinking obsessed with this one. It came out perfectly and the colors POP off of the white background. This cake smash is adorable all the way around.
Why did you choose Leslie to capture your child's first birthday portraits?I’ve used her since I was pregnant with my first child and LOVE her work.
Were you nervous about anything going into your child's session? Please explain.I was nervous that he wouldn’t cooperate. Which he didn’t the first day but Leslie was very understanding and she was even able to accommodate us and squeeze us in the next day for a session that he did better in.
What was your favorite part of the session experience?The setup was perfect! I loved everything about it!
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?100% satisfied with the moments she was able to capture!
Would you recommend Leslie to other parents looking to book a first birthday session for their child? Why?Yessss because she’s so easy to get along with and her pictures are amazing. She makes the backgrounds herself and is so creative! I loved how it turned out!

Mommin’ is hard, a lot of the time. We lay down at night and think about all the things that we didn’t finish, didn’t do right or certainly could have done better. The laundry is never completely done, and most of the time their are dishes in the sink ( at least at my house). Regardless of all of the shortcomings we think we have, our babies don’t see any of that. Give yourself some grace, take photos with your babies. It won’t be this way for long.
I grew up in the small town of Grand Cane, Louisiana; in a neighborhood referred to as Ranchland Acres (predominantly white). I was the only child for 14 years until my younger brother was born.
On a few occasions my parents told me stories of some of our older neighbors and how they were labeled racist. I remember my dad having an encounter with one neighbor in particular. Firewood fell off my dad’s trailer in the ditch, in front of the neighbors home. The neighbor was outside, and as my father was turning onto the next street the neighbor literally flagged him down to come back and remove a couple pieces of firewood from the ditch in front of his home.
Working in retail I’ve witnessed first hand experience. One time in particular, myself and another employee were referred to as the colored girl/woman in reference to a mistake that was made.
Yes, after all of the incidents related to officers killing African American men and women and getting away with it. I myself have only had a few encounters with law enforcement during traffic stops . When I found out I was having a son I feared that one day he would miss an opportunity based off the color of his skin. I then knew i would choose a name for him that if he filled out a job application they wouldn’t automatically assume he was a person of color.
I fear that one day he will be wrongful accused or even killed based off the color of his skin. I refuse to teach him to dislike or judge anyone based on how they look different from him.
I have no doubt that he will encounter racism, but my hope for Ashton is that he can grow up in this cruel world and be any and everything he wants to be.
First, Brooklynn is stinkin’ gorgeous. When she told me she wanted to be a doctor I thought to myself, “ go on with yo bad self.” Brooklynn was so easy to work with too! Her smile would seriously light up a room, and I can’t wait to see how much she loves Millsaps. Located in Jackson, Mississippi (my old stomping ground, I grew up in Vicksburg and Jackson), Millsaps boast 100 acres, but enrolls less than 1,000 students total. The campus is beautiful, the staff is small and I know that Brooklynn will have the chance to flourish in her chosen path. I hope she chooses to go to medical school at UMC, but wherever she goes I know that she is going to do so well. :)
